Homemade Strawberry Jam Muffins

Preheat oven to 180 C.

In a medium size bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.

In a larger bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and milk. Mix well with a spoon.

Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon.

Now line a muffin tin with paper cups (recipe should make 9 muffins). Scoop out a spoonful of mixture and fill the cup to 1/3 of its capacity. Now spread some strawberry jam over it. And then spread a little more muffin batter over the layer of jam. (Do not fill the cups to the rim, as they will expand when they bake.)

Bake at 180 C for about 20 minutes. Muffins are ready when the top springs back when you touch it with your finger.

Serve and enjoy.
